| NATIONAL ASSOCIATION of ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDICIARY |
FELLOWSHIPS With the exceptions of 2017 and 2019, each year since 1993, NAALJ and its tax exempt 501 (c)(3) non-profit affiliate, the National Administrative Law Judge Foundation (NALJF), have co-sponsored an annual writing competition on a topic of interest to the administrative judiciary. Past fellowship award recipients, all of whom are listed below, have included many distinguished administrative law judges, hearing officers, and academicians, each of whose articles have been published in the Pepperdine Caruso Law Journal of NAALJ, a leading administrative law focused journal. Over the years, the Journal has made significant contributions, including those of fellowship recipients, to the understanding and development of administrative law and adjudication.
